Crisis Support Services of Alameda County.

In short

Yes - its site describes interns obtaining hours for licensure, and supervision of trainees and associates

A 24-hour crisis line running since 1966

Oakland · Alameda County — what the organization is, what its own site publishes about clinical training, and the questions to bring. Every fact below was read from a fetched page on the date above, and each one links the page it came from. Nothing here says what is available today — sites change; the organization answers that.

What it is

The organization, from its own site.

Operating since 1966: 988 call, text and chat plus a local 24-hour line (1-800-309-2131), therapy and counseling from youth through older adults, support groups across Alameda County, and community education, from its Oakland office.

Its site: crisissupport.org.

What its site publishes about training

A program its own pages describe.

Each statement below is what the organization’s own site said on 16 August 2026, with the page it said it on. A program existing on a page is not a seat existing today — the page is where you check.

Its join-our-team page states: “Our interns are graduate and doctoral students who have progressed far enough through their degree programs to start obtaining hours for licensure,” across child psychology, grief, crisis counseling and geriatric mental health. The page that says so →

The same page recruits licensed clinicians “to supervise our trainees and associates” — which is its own statement that both trainees and associates work there. The page that says so →

Before you write to anyone

The three questions that protect your hours.

A trainee cannot count hours from a private practice or a professional corporation — § 4980.43.3 draws that line, and the trainee rules page walks all seven of the rules that decide whether a placement counts. A registered associate has a wider map; both start from the same three questions: who signs the supervision paperwork and on what schedule, which settings the hours would come from, and — for a trainee — whether your program’s site agreement exists yet, because § 4980.42 puts that agreement on your school, not on you.

The whole search method — whose job the search is, the order that saves cycles, and the paper trail to keep — is on the how-to-find-a-practicum-site page. This profile is one shelf of it; the full Bay Area shelves are the practicum-sites directory and the associate-employers directory.

This profile records what the organization’s own site published on the read date, and nothing else. It is not a statement about today, it is not an endorsement, and it is not legal advice. Sites change; the links above are where to check.

Figures checked, narrative not re-read

The numbers are current. The argument around them has not been reviewed since it was written.
